“Roskilde festival has always been very special for Iron Maiden,” bassist Steve Harris said in a statement. “There’s an amazing atmosphere about the place and the crowd are real party animals! We’ve heard the festival vibe is now better than ever, and as we’ve not been there since 2003 we’re really looking forward to finding out if that’s true.”

Early bird tickets for the event are priced at £200 and go on sale from December 1. For more information, visit Roskilde-Festival.dk.
